FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Mounties in Fort St. John are searching for the suspect in an armed robbery just over a week ago.

At around 8:15 p.m. on Friday March 23rd, police received a report of a robbery in progress. A pizza delivery driver had just been robbed at gunpoint while attempting to deliver a pizza in the 8900 block of 102nd Ave in Fort St. John.

The driver was walking between two townhouse units when a man wearing a black and white skull mask approached the driver and pointed a handgun at them and demanded money. The man made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and the pizza that was about to be delivered.
